Malvern Preparatory School is an independent, Catholic school committed to the Augustinian values of veritas, unitas and caritas, meaning truth, unity and love.  Since 1842, the School’s tradition has been to prepare young men for college, for leadership and for life.  Malvern educates its students in a caring environment focused on academics while maintaining balance between spirituality, arts, athletics and activities.  Students are learning a foundation of knowledge today so that they may lead with integrity tomorrow.
